The advantage of deep thought against Fritz was clearly more than being twice faster. Junior and Fritz and Ferret played on a quad against shredder in another championship when shredder became the world champion in 1999 if I remember correctly. > >>The advantage of the dual is only a small advanatge(clearly less than the >>advantage that shredder or Fritz had to play against in the past). > >When you talk about Tiger, or Rebel, or Fritz, or HIARCS, you're talking about a >handful of programs all 20 Elo (IMO of course) of each other. > >That small advantage you speak of doesn't seem so small then. That advantage is probably less than 50 elo because the advantage from a dual is less than being twice faster and I guess that the advantage from being twice faster at long time control is only 50 elo.
